Depending on
who's listening

With a Driver

WatchTwo people pushing means a collision. Agree on who's holding the wheel first.
With a Connector
DoKeep the pace, but add real recognition to keep them motivated.
WatchFacts alone will make them shrink. Mind the warmth of the relationship.
With a Supporter

In different settings
The same person can look a little different depending on where they are.
With friends
When a group chat drags on about where to go, they're the one who says "Let's just go here" and closes the vote. Once it's decided, they've already booked it.
In group projects
At the first meetup they ask to set the goal and the deadline. If things slow down, they'll quietly take the leftover parts and finish them.
At home
Rearranging furniture or a big clean-up starts the day they decide. "Later" is the word they can stand least.
Common misreadings
What people see isn't always what's going on inside.
"They're angry"
They're loud and brief, but most of the time they just want to wrap things up. There's usually less emotion behind it than it seems.
"They don't listen"
They listen well to points that come with a conclusion. Lead with the key point and they change their mind more easily than you'd expect.
Common questions
Q. Why are D types always in a hurry?
Waiting feels like a loss to them. Just tell them when a decision will be made and they relax a lot.
Q. How do I tell a D type I'm hurt?
Say it short and clear, like "That came across like this to me." They'll try to fix it right away.
Q. How do I get along with a D type?
Narrow it down to two or three options and let them choose. When they feel their call is respected, they take your input well too.
